2 Pathogenesis
21 Hypersensitivity reactions:
Mast cells covered with IgE antibodies bind parasite antigens inflammatory response, attraction of eosinophils killing worms
![Page 6: Glomerular diseases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082203/56815a8d550346895dc8034d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Type I: Immediate hypersensitivity (anaphylaxis)
1st exposure to antigen production of specific AB their binding to mast cells (sensitization). Next exposure allergen degranulates mast cells release of histamine (immediate response) vascular permeability, airways, hives, conjunctivitis, rhinitis. Later: leukotriens, prostaglandins, PAF, proteases (late phase) localized anaphylaxis = atopy (asthma, hay fever, eczema, hives) systemic anaphylaxis – circulatory shock, dyspnea, laryngospasm Ts activity

Type II: Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)
Cell-mediated cytotoxicity that requires prior binding of antibodies to target cellsK(iller) cells: Lymphocyte-like cells (not B or T) that kill a variety of tumor cells and virus-infected cells but only after previous immunizationErrant or uncontrolled plasma cells produce antibodies against selfantigensDrugs combine with body antigens (e.g., on erythrocytes)
anchor and activate K-cells ADCC
AB attach to the surface of cells, bind (via Fc receptors) and activate GBM etc. neutrophils and macrophages
activate complement cascade
damage of the cells, GBM etc.

Deposition of complexes may reflect hemodynamic factors (glomeruli)
Type IV: Cell-mediated immune injury = delayed-type hypersensitivity
Resistant (intracellular) bacterium, foreign tissue etc. activation of TH cells TC, “angry” macrophages, K cells, N(atural) K(iller) cells (=do not require prior immunization) indiscriminate phagocytosis, exudation granulomatous inflammation, contact dermatitis, transplant rejection
22 Pathogenetic mechanisms of glomerular diseases
Three typical syndromes: nephritic, nephrotic and chronic glomerulonephritis

B: “Minimal changes” GN = lipoid nephrosis: some mesangial proliferation, edematous podocytes, fusion (“loss”) of their foot processes
C: Intracapillary mesangial proliferative GN: proliferation of endothelia and mesangium, peeling off of enthelial cells from the GBM, duplication of GBM, “humps” formed by immunocomplexes
D: Crescentic GN: proliferation of all components (aggressive white cells, endo- and epithelia, mesangium, epitheloid and giant cells), leakage of fibrin. Hypersensitivity reaction type II or IV
E: Membranous GN: Precipitation of immunoglobulins on the outer surface of the GBM (“spikes” complete incorporation of Ig into the membrane)
F: Proliferative sclerotizing GN: advanced mesangial proliferation narrowing and destruction of capillaries

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FGS) Focal = 50% of glomeruli are affected by light microscopy Diffuse = 50% affected Segmental = only a part of the glomerular tuft is involved Glomerulosclerosis = obliteration of capillary lumens Nephrotic syndrome. Edematous podocytes, fusion (“loss”) of their foot processes. Unclear podocyte damaging toxin – some lymphokine? React on glucocorticoids

Circulating complexes cannost pass through GBM in situ immune complex formation: - circulating cationic antigen, afterwards enter the corresponding antibodies - filtered autoantibody; antigen present in situ (glycoprotein on podocyte cell membrane).

23 Mechanisms of vascular injury
231 Systemic vasculitis and antineutrophil cytoplasmatic antibodies
Acute systemic process of arteries. - Large vessel arteritides, e.g. polyarteritis nodosa distal glomerular ischemia (no inflammation) GFR - Glomerular tuft, e.g. polyarteritis nodosa, Wegener´s granulomatosis focal glomerular necrosis, crescents, active urine sedimentNovel circulating autoantibody – antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody = ANCAHighly specific for systemic necrotizing vasculitidesANCA respiratory burst of phagocytic cells release of free radicals degranulation injury to endothelial cells
![Page 32: Glomerular diseases](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082203/56815a8d550346895dc8034d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
232 Thrombotic microangiopathies
Injured endothelial cell loses its natural thromboresistance platelet activation thrombi in the lumen possibly fibrinoid necrosis and fibrin deposition into mediaHemolytic-uremic syndrome: thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, renal functionPathogenesis: - verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli damage to endothelia (infantile diarrhea); also immunosuppresives and chemotheraputics - Willebrand factor platelet aggregation; autoantibody against inhibitors of platelet aggregation - antibody-mediated endothelial injury in hyperacute renal transplant rejection

Hematuria, azotemia, hypervolemia. Mild to moderate proteinuriaPrimary and secondary (=systemic with renal involvement) diseasesThe majority is of immunologic etiology – hypersensitivity reactions type II or III Local glomerular inflammation breaking filtration membrane porosity, hematuria, proteinuria
blocking of glomerular capillaries permeability hypervolemia, uremia
Membranous GN (type E) proteinuria, rather slow Proliferating GN (type C and D) hypertension, more acute
